U.HAS_WEB_CONTROLS

Summary

Helper method used to create properly formatted metadata that will prompt UWeb to notice and interpret special HTML control values that cause interactive Web controls to be rendered

Syntax

=U.HAS_WEB_CONTROLS([alt_layout], [metadata])

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
[alt_layout] No Set to TRUE when Web control indicators are in rows beneath the cells that will render the controls (for non-HTML reports) or in a distinct range (for HTML reports). By default indicators are in columns to the right of controls or in the report content.
[metadata] No Additional metadata to be applied to report being published; can be selected from multiple ranges. If specified this metadata is combined with the has_html_controls metadata into a single list of metadata entries

Behavior

The documented public interface is supported by the current U Add-in source signature and the maintained Usage Examples workbook. Optional parameters are shown in square brackets in the syntax above; omit the brackets when entering a formula.

Return Value

Returns the function result or action status described by the formula and parameters above. The maintained sources do not define a narrower, stable return contract for this function.

Examples

=U.HAS_WEB_CONTROLS()

=U.HAS_WEB_CONTROLS(TRUE)

Notes

  • Formula examples are preserved from maintained workbook usage and normalized to the current U. prefix.
  • Complete formulas demonstrate working patterns; they do not imply that undocumented option values are supported.
  • Where maintained sources do not specify every accepted value, default, or error message, this page does not infer one.
  • For functions that perform actions, use a visible trigger or supported block/throttle parameter to avoid unintended repetition during recalculation.
